Why Lemmy is so superior to Reddit: No Karma, Just Value Content (feddit.org)

Lemmy's design is focused on quality content by ditching the Karma farmers and addicts. No more chasing upvotes—people here actually focus on real value instead of feeding the ego.

Really? I have like 15 meme communities blocked, and there are comparably very few niche communities.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 17 hours ago (16 children)

Yeah, lemmy suffers a lot of from this. Too many posts that try to just make the front page, too many popular communities that dominate c/all. I've even had a friend quit over this.

I genuinely miss communities about games, linguistics and niche hobbies - they just aren't as popular as news/politics/general memes and that. I do try to post them as much as i can, but since they're niche there's only so much content you can find.

I'd love for the frontpage to have some [optional, ofc] changes that encourage more of this type of content.

Why would anyone be on all? Even with reddit I I quit going to all probably 10 years ago....

And don't let my Lemmy age fool you, I drop my account every 6 to 8 months. It took my a lot longer to figure that out on reddit.

Ok...then what do you recommend for a varied random feed of news and posts from various communities?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

For me it's to find new content (i block most news/politics communities since they're most of c/all) but there's a lot of attention and eyes to be gained from all.

But most of this, as i said; is buried by the generic popular content.

Well yeah, that's what ALL is right? The most generic stuff. You can browse communities and subscribe as needed.

If you are going to use all It might help to enable scaled sorting.

It boosts small communities in the sort.

I'll try, thank you 🙂
